Marina Vallarta Golf Club is known for its stunning tropical landscape that is home to an abundance of wildlife. Golfers have the opportunity to play amongst iguanas and alligators while enjoying scenic views of the Bay of Banderas. The course is blessed with a bevy of natural hazards including towering palm trees, lagoons, and waterfalls. Colorful tropical flowers and native vegetation further accent the landscape. In addition to the natural hazards, there are also a few strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The golf course offers a challenging but fair test that is not overly demanding, which is probably for the best since it is easy to get distracted by the beautiful surroundings. Given its versatility and scenery, Marina Vallarta G.C. has become a popular venue for various golfing events, including the Governor's Cup Pro/Am Tournament.

Course very good, ranger rude.

Fun, challenging, beautiful course on OCEAN. Ranger was very rude...came up to us on 10th tee and said we playing 15 min too slow and had to either skip a hole or play best ball! Never even a warning, as we could easily pick up our pace, wo being so rude. Crazy, as we were not being pushed and it was rainy all day. Then the ranger kind of followed us around for 3 or 4 holes. Ruined a nice round for me.

Ok

Greens were in great shape and ran pretty true. Played the front in 2:10. Back was 3:30 and absolute misery. No Marshall in sight. One par 4 there were 3 foursomes waiting on the teebox.

Could be better!

Very difficult course with lots of water and tons of sand. Not for the feint of heart, but I knew that going in. Staff were very friendly, and even though it rained a bit, we enjoyed ourselves. But the fairways were bare in lots of places and the bunkers had huge rocks in them. Greens were good, and quick. But I was disappointed in the overall maintenance and upkeep. For the money, Vistana is a much better track and better maintained.

Expensive

Price has gone up considerably in the past few years but service has not increased. For the expense not necessarily value for your money
